Wanna buy a snowplow? | News

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - The state Department of Transportation plans to sell surplus equipment ranging from bulldozers and snowplows to cars, mini-vans and four-wheel drive sport utility vehicles.

An auction is scheduled Sept. 29 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the department's District 5 office, which is on the south side of Santa Fe.

The agency says more than 1,000 items will be sold, including dump trucks, pickup trucks, road graders, trailers, mowers as well as office furniture and electronics. The equipment can be viewed at the District 5 office on Sept. 27-28.

A partial listing of the equipment also is available on the auctioneer's website.

Money from the auction will go into a state fund that pays for the department's operations. (Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)
